KITCHEN MEMO PAD.

Application led November 19, 1927. Serial No. 234,514.

The present invention relates to memorandum pads and more particularly to a memorandum pad of the continuous web type.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein the roll or web may be readily replaced when the roll has become exhausted.

A still further object of the invention is to provide means whereby a length of the web may be readily torn ofi' so that it may be folded andcarried in the pocket as a meniorandum.

Another object of the invention is to provide a memorandum support which may be readily hung in any convenient location or may be positioned over a telephone receiver.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear. as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood .that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the lscope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure lis a front elevational View of Va memorandum pad and support constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is sectionalview taken on line of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmental rear elevational view of the device.

Figure Zi is a sectional view taken on line 4--1 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a fragmental sectional view showing how the pivoted guard is mounted.

Figure G :is a sectional view taken on line G-6 of Figure 5.

Referring to the drawingr in detail, the device includes a base plate indicated genorally by the reference character 5 which is formed preferably of length of sheet metal, provided with an extension 6 at its upper end which is apertured so that the base plate may be positioned over a suitable nail secured in a supporting surface.

Slots 7 are formed in the base plate adjacent to the side edges thereof, said slots accommodating the tabs 8 that formed in` tegral with the roll holder 9 formed of metal and bent to provide a tubular container.

The forward edge of the member 9 is spaced from that portion of the roll holder that rests against the base plate deiining an opening through which the paper may pass as it is being drawn from the roll which in the present showing is indicated by the numeral l0.

It will be seen that the paper is drawn over the base plate 5 and is passed through the slot 11 formed longitudinally of the lower end of the base plate so that the paper may pass under the base plate to the end that it may be torn off by pulling the paper upwardly into Contact with the sharp edge 12 of the base.

Extending rearwardly from the roll holder 9 and disposed on opposite sides there of are apertured ears 13 that accommodate tabs 14 formed at the free ends of the guard 15 so that the guard will be pivotallysupported, to theend that it may be readily and easily moved into and out of operation.

As shown, the guard is U-shaped and over-lies the roll holder, guarding the ends of the roll holder to insure against the roll of paper supported in the roll holder becoming displaced. V

An opening 16 is formed in the roll holder and is engaged by the boss 17 extending inwardly from the guard to secure the guard against movement after it has been positioned over the roll holder.

From the foregoing it will be seen that by moving the guard rearwardly, the coreV on which the paper is wound may be re moved from the roll holder and a new roll positioned therein.

Itwill also be noted that due to the fact that the roll holder is made preferably of spring metal, the outward pressure will tend to hold the boss 17 in the opening and prevent movement of the guard 15, under ordinary conditions.

I claim:

A roll holder including a base, a curved roll supporting member mounted on the base, a pivoted guard formed of substantially wide material, supported on the roll holder at the upper edge thereof, said roll holder having an opening, said guard having a boss to be fitted in the opening to lock the guard in position and said base having a slot to receive paper supported by theroll holder.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiixed my signature.
